Juice Robinson (6) vs. Jay White (8)

Due to Goto's win, it didn't matter if White won or lost; Juice could only get to 10 if he won this and Night 16's B-block match, but if White wins both of his remaining matches, he could go to sudden death and take the B-block. White entered with his Bullet Club brother Gedo. A man with no love for White's Bullet Club, Red Shoes Unno, refereed.

The crowd chanted for Robinson, and White rolled out of the ring immediately. Robinson wiped the Switchblade's shirt on his bum and threw it at Gedo to make a point! That prompted a return into the legal ring space, and White took the lead when Gedo distracted Robinson from ringside.

Strong kicks and slaps from White didn't keep Robinson from throwing White around a bit and ending a combo with a lariat. He got one more jab in before White fled the ring. Gedo continued his distractions, but White stole the advantage back for a moment.

White focused on Robinson's tender knee and left him rocking back and forth in pain outside the ring. Robinson's back got thrown into the ring apron and blue barricade to soften him up for a run through the audience. White slammed Robinson's knee into the audience chairs.

Unno gave Robinson a long time to return to the ring, and he made it back. The knee had already taken so much damage that Robinson was fighting with a limp, and he headbutted White. White couldn't get Robinson to tap before he grabbed the bottom rope with both hands to force a separation.

Using Robinson's chants and moves against him, White made the crowd hate him even more. Robinson's spinebuster gave him a moment to recover his knee and feel the crowd's energy. Robinson shoved White out of the ring and he collided with White on his way down.

White was introduced once more into the blue barricades as Unno kept the 20-count from starting. One would almost think he enjoyed White's pain a little bit! Robinson threw White's leg into the ring post three times. A fourth time instead meant Robinson's time against the ring post after another distraction from Gedo.

Juice struggled White up into a jackhammer, but he didn't have a lot of power when he slammed White due to the damage he'd taken to his knee. White grasped the bottom rope as soon as Robinson climbed up to fly at him, leaving him open for a Blade Buster move.

White ended Robinson's dreams of rallying for a short time with a backdrop suplex. He followed up by suplexing Robinson outside the ring, happy to roll him back into the ring in his own time.

White gave Robinson an urinage but ate a Full Nelson Bomb, and Robinson worked on recovering his knee while they both lay on the mat. White didn't stay down after a powerbomb but he nearly tapped out to Robinson's Boston Crab. He came back with an inverted dragon screw throw and locked in his GTO hold.

As before, Robinson used his ring awareness to break the hold. White tangled Robinson in the ropes and followed with more cruelty to Robinson's knee. The two men traded finisher attempts, but Robinson's Left Hand of God was stronger than White's face. He hauled White up for his Pulp Friction finisher, and Goto distracted Unno.

White threw Robinson into Unno, and Gedo went for a chair. Gedo handed the chair off to White, but White ate another Left Hand of God. White still mauled Robinson's leg mercilessly and locked him into a hold as Gedo rolled Unno back into the ring.

Unno shook off his stunned fog just in time to see Robinson tap out to a modified GTO hold. White was the man to retain his chances for the Final, leaving Robinson in his elimination.

Results: Jay White (10) def. Juice Robinson (6)
